Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to the fight for the title of Premier League Champions 2019! The contenders? In the Blue corner, the team that broke the Premier League points and goals scored records last season, the reigning Champions, Manchester City (muffled mumblings of support from the crowd due to poor attendance from their fans). Annnnnd in the RED corner, the most successful club in English football history! Five time winners of the European Cup! The mighty LIVERPOOL FOOTBALL CLUB (ground shaking, ear shattering cheer from the best supporters in the world)!

In a sport where statistics now seem as part and parcel of the game as a sides’ tactics, there is one doing the rounds that rival fans have latched onto almost as soon as Jürgen Klopp took over at Liverpool.

In seasons gone by, Liverpool have always had mixed fortunes in the transfer market, and have never really excelled in their recruitment. Yes there have been a number of key signings and good deals done, but not half as many as the amount of bad ones that’s taken place.

As the PFA announced their Premier League Team of the Year this week, many were unphased to see Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah included in the 11, alongside Spurs’ Harry Kane, City’s Kevin De Bruyne and United’s David De Gea. However, the focus was more on one particular player who didn’t make the cut. That man is Roberto Firmino.

In the heady afterglow of putting Manchester City out of their Champions League misery last week and beating a spirited Bournemouth at Anfield on Saturday there was an air of slight smugness around us Liverpool fans.

A first Champions League semi-final in a decade – and it could not feel any sweeter. A 5-1 aggregate win over the Premier League champions-elect Manchester City sent The Reds into the last four and within touching distance of another European final.
